The literature on gender diversity in boards of directors has expanded significantly in recent years, due to the fact that women are increasingly holding higher management positions within the company hierarchy, clearly demonstrating that certain characteristics of women have a positive impact on different areas within the company. The objective of this paper is to analyze scientific articles on the presence of women in boards of directors, based on a literature review, in order to learn about the evolution of this concept over time. The search conducted for this paper produced 300 documents from the Web of Science, with a final total result of 168 documents after passing the initial results through various filters. VOSviewer software was used to analyze the information, which enabled the creation of bibliometric citation, co-citation and co-word maps. The results reveal the most relevant authors and studies on this subject and identify the most current studies, the main topic of which deals with sustainability and corporate social responsibility, in addition to highlighting the characteristics of women that are of vital importance to boards of directors within the current context: empathy, open innovation, concern for the needs of interest groups and a heightened perception of risks.

“…Notably, 100% of studies that described structural change outcomes (n = 26) started with local knowledge informing the research question (Table 2). Additionally, EJ community members held leadership roles in all studies resulting in structural change (Table 2), though in diverse ways, including: a) project management by a community-based organization or group (e.g., Heaney et al 2007Heaney et al , 2011; b) community members hired as paid project staff (e.g., Cantu (Málovics et al 2019). Strong statistical correlations were observed between structural change outcomes and the following key characteristics of partnerships and participatory approaches: a) projects being communitydirected (later referred to as community-directed research); and b) formal participant leadership structures (Table 2).…”

“…Despite years of formal complaints supported by empirical evidence, the Canadian Ministry of the Environment continues to approve permits for local polluting industries (Scott 2016;Wiebe 2016). In a Hungarian city, researchers shifted the project focus toward meeting the basic needs of Romani participants and bridging social classes after realizing how extreme social exclusion of this highly stigmatized group left them critically vulnerable (Málovics et al 2019). In an adapted Photovoice project around health inequities with residents of three Canadian cities, a frequently reported theme indicated that participants, "perceived stigmatization that they felt was imposed by outsiders that limited the ability of their communities to achieve positive neighbourhood change" (Masuda et al 2012).…”

BACKGROUND: Environmental health risks are disproportionately colocated with communities in poverty and communities of color. In some cases, participatory research projects have effectively addressed structural causes of health risk in environmental justice (EJ) communities. However, many such projects fail to catalyze change at a structural level. OBJECTIVES: This review employs Critical Interpretive Synthesis (CIS) to theorize specific elements of participatory research for environmental health that effectively prompt structural change in EJ communities. METHODS: Academic database search was used to identify peer-reviewed literature describing participatory research with EJ communities to address environmental health. Synthetic constructs were developed iteratively related to study characteristics, design elements, and outcomes; and data were extracted for included records. Statistical analyses were performed to assess correlations between study design elements and structural change outcomes. Through critical, comparative, and contextual analyses of the "structural change" case study group and "nonstructural change" group, informed by relevant theoretical literature, a synthesizing argument was generated. RESULTS: From 505 total records identified, eligibility screening produced 232 case study articles, representing 154 case studies, and 55 theoretical articles for synthesis. Twenty-six case studies resulted in a structural change outcome. The synthesizing argument states that participatory research with EJ communities may be more likely to result in structural change when a) community members hold formal leadership roles; b) project design includes decision-makers and policy goals; and c) long term partnerships are sustained through multiple funding mechanisms. The assumption of EJ community benefit through research participation is critically examined. DISCUSSION: Recommended future directions include establishing structural change as a goal of participatory research, employing participatory assessment of community benefit, and increased hiring of faculty of color at research institutions. The power, privilege, and political influence that academic institutions are able to leverage in partnership with EJ communities may be as valuable as the research itself.

“…Indeed, past research has shown that Roma face the particularly dual struggle—between stigmatizing distal institutions, and supportive but similarly marginalized proximal ties—that renders the shift from proximal to distal support particularly important. Málovics, Creţan, Méreine‐Berki, and Tóth (2019), for instance, show that Roma face a “contradictory situation” characterized by strong bonds to their proximal others but important feelings of alienation. In what follows, we explore whether contextual trust contributes to improving this “contradictory situation,” such that proximal support is perceived as more likely among Roma and non‐Roma alike.…”

In recent years, trust has been conceptualized as an important source of social capital, setting off cross‐disciplinary research on both the benefits and predictors of trust at the individual and contextual level. In this paper, we turn to the individual outcomes of living in a trustful context, and explore the relationship between trust, itself one of the main components of social capital, and social support, seen as one of the most important effects of social capital. In particular, we ask how social capital—and the relationship between trust and social support—functions in the context of unequal societies. We model perceived support as an outcome across three levels, from no support to proximate to distal support, and using a cross‐national study of Roma and non‐Roma across 12 European countries, we track the relationship between trust and support across both mainstream and marginalized populations. Our findings suggest that living in contexts with more trust has protective effects particularly for members of marginalized groups: the Roma are more likely to have distal support in contexts with higher trust. We conclude that contextual trust helps to broaden the circle of support beyond family and friends; thus, trust can indeed be a synthetic force that binds individuals together in broadened structures of support.
